Thank you for explaining so well,

Eh I'm one of those who like to learn as they go and even though I tried most of the jobs on dummies, the implications of this skill went complately over my head and I'm also reconsidering my ability to figure out wth is going on altogether. On the bright side my somewhat traumatic experience with learning about this payed off, else I would continue being one of those blissfully oblivious people XD Not that I expect a pld dropping guard on me anytime soon since I'm playing bard...and I don't have a knock back for them either...hmm

Also I'm not sure that even being strategic as a whole team and bringing pld down or alternatively their team members would tip the scales that much...you will take that hard won kill just to deal with it again in some 10-20 seconds when they come back at you fresh as daisies and with lb at the ready. I would like to know if people overall have much luck going against teams focused on using guardian/elixir strategy.
